When you typed in telnet localhost 4000 on computer #2, it was trying to find port 4000 on Computer #2. You
don't want that since the MUD is running on computer #2, but rather computer #1. Find out what IP address you
have on computer #1, then from computer #2, type telnet <Computer #1 IP Address (i.e. 192.168.1.1)> 4000
